It's the exact same ideology embraced by the elite enslavers before the Civil War: some people are better than others, and have the right-- and maybe the duty-- to rule. It was the Mudsill Theory then, and it's the Mudsill Theory today, dress it up in whatever elegant language you may.
When Hillary said there was a vast right wing conspiracy, she was, as usual, correct. It's become more entrenched, secretive, organized, & scary.

The secretive donor circle that lifted JD Vance is now re-writing MAGA’s future
Chris Buskirk put tech elites in power in Trump’s Washington. His efforts are grounded in a controversial theory — an ‘aristocracy’ is needed to move the country forward.

Kash Patel is confronting difficult questions about his use of an FBI jet for a personal trip to Pennsylvania, where his country singer girlfriend was performing, and then to Nashville, where she lives.
Soon after the flights were disclosed, the FBI forced out a senior official overseeing aviation.

Facing difficult questions about his use of an FBI jet, Kash Patel pitches weak defense
The FBI director had an opportunity to put the burgeoning controversy to rest. Instead, he pushed a message that didn’t do him any favors.

If the sandwich stayed whole, the defense meets its goal
The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.
"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.
"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

Over 50 percent of voters in 2004 said they believed Bush had lied about WMDs, and still he won.
This NYT Obit of VP Cheney mentions something that seems impossible in retrospect: That he and GWB were re-elected *after* it was proved there were no WMDs in Iraq.

ah yes, aristocracies — known the world over for their innovation, flexibility and capacity to meet new challenges
Meet Rockbridge, the secretive donor circle that lifted JD Vance is now re-writing MAGA’s future.
It roots its action in a “controversial theory — an ‘aristocracy’ is needed to move the country forward.”
It’s method: a venture capital approach to politics.

Starving can cause chronic illness and disabilities.
Malnutrition is not to be trifled with.
Cutting off SNAP funding will cause people to suffer. Some will get ill. Some may die.
There’s no excuse for this. 40 million people rely on that program.
It’s a cull.

No, and what he's doing now isn't legal, either. It is, on the more important point of how it's being funded, insanely unconstitutional. But not everything is fixable by litigation, even constitutional violations. Some parts are up to Congress to enforce or else they simply aren't enforced at all.
As a matter of current law, could the president just…knock down the entire White House? Just raze the whole thing to the ground?
